A Glimpse of Mermaids
Beauty and abandon
Maidens of the open ocean
Lounging by the seaside, on holiday
Just over the border of their usual domain
Dripping with silver
Swirling nectar in clamshells
Sipping and gulping and inhaling the vapors
Savoring the taste, the feeling on their tongues
The richness of the shell and the smoothness of the wine.
Their heads roll back
Faces toward the heavens
Brushing the beach with the ends of their hair
Curving their chests upwards
Arching their necks
Rolling their shoulders
Wriggling their fingers in the sand
Warm, soft tails drinking in sunshine
Basking in the feeling of being young
Young forever.
